Denim
Denim comes in a variety of weights. It is usually used for Jeans style pants and skirts.
Heavy Denim is good for close fitting jeans and slim skirts.
Lightweight Denim is good for shirts and jackets and fuller skirts.
Denim should be washed and dried before using.
Denim/Lycra blends have some stretch. There is usually 4% lycra. This fabric should be washed and dried at least three times before using.
